Megan Park Knocks it Out of the Park

Bio

Megan Park's first break was in “The Sound of Music,” though it wasn’t professional. In Canada, she was part of the Original Kids Theatre Company, which included actors Rachel McAdams. Megan's first big role came on a guest spot on the Lifetime series “Angela’s Eyes.”

Megan can speak an astounding seven languages and has won linguistics awards. Romantically, she's been linked with actor and singer Tyler Hilton.

Aside from acting, she formed her own band with singer Codi Caraco called Frank and Derol; Megan sang and played bass guitar. She left the band, however, in 2010 in order to focus more on acting.

As to the fans she met while on “The Secret Life…”, she said, “it’s been lovely and amazing. I’m just so grateful that people have liked the show and kept watching and kept us on the air for five years.”

As for the kissing scenes, Megan Park said, “it’s so awkward. There are a million people watching you and you have to do it over and over. It’s so not hot or fun at all. We’re all friends, we’re all family, so it’s not romantic for us, it’s a job…there are all of these crew people you know really well watching you and they’re like your parents. Really bizarre.”

Megan Park related to her character on the show: “I’m not as hard on myself as Grace is, and I’m not quite as uptight as she can be sometimes. She is very outgoing and bubbly and the good girl, and I guess I’m like that most of the time.” She added in a separate interview, “I kind of missed the boat of the whole high school experience, but I’m reliving it now every day when I go to work.”

As to growing up on the show, she said, “our lives have changed a lot since the beginning…I went from living at home in a small town in Canada to moving out here to Los Angeles.”

As to making it as an actress, Megan said, “I think the most important thing is you have to learn to love auditioning…that’s such a big part of what your job’s going to be.”
